§3482. Providing for protective services to incapacitated adults who lack the capacity to
consent

If the department reasonably determines that an incapacitated adult is being abused,
neglected or exploited and lacks capacity to consent to protective services, the department
may petition the Probate Court for guardianship or conservatorship, in accordance
with Title 18-A, section 5-601. The petition must allege specific facts sufficient
to show that the incapacitated adult is in need of protective services and lacks capacity
to consent to them. [1981, c. 527, §2 (NEW).]
